Basketballexercises for technique dribbling

• Divide players into groups of 5.
• Normally we have 2 or 3 baskets available.
• For example, every 7 minutes turn over, first center explanation. (most guidance on the dribbling skills needed)
• Station 1. (Basket 1)
  • 3x2 play from the center line without dribbling (only passing, free running, pivoting)
• Station 2. (basket 2)
  • 1x1 play (substitution, attacker becomes defender, occasionally change the order to get different match-ups, 1-shot attempt or under time pressure to keep up the momentum)
• Station 3. (Basket 3 - if available)
  • Shooting exercise: 5 positions on edge of bucket (low, elbow, free throw line, elbow low).
  • 1 player shoots, others catch and pass the ball (1 shot per position, highest score of the group)
• Station 4 dribbling skills. (1-2 pawns)
  • Over the pylon (do not take it with you, keep control, from left to right, 1 hand behind your back)
  • Lift the pylon with the left, dribble with the right (throw the pylon, catch it with the other hand)
  • Left/right and touch pylon (timer, counting) - hand that releases the ball must touch pylon (low position, defend the ball)
  • 2 pawns, dribble left, touch right
  • 2 cones (8 dribble with 1 hand)
• Station 5 dribbling skills. (row of pawns)
  • Slalom around the pawns, low dribble, back and forth (tempo)
  • Variant: low dribble, feet on both sides of the pawns, cross after every pylon.
  • Low dribble, always touching the according pawns.
  • Stay in control, stay on the same side. (dribble left, touch pylon with right)

• Slalom around the pawns. (low dribble)
• Over the bank:
  • Low dribble on the ground, cross over.
• Drive by cones:
  • Dribble with the left and touch each cone with the right.
• Push-ups/abdominal thrusts on the middle line.

• At each part someone is ready to start.
• You pass the ball from a distance to the next person.

• Everyone a ball and distribute along the length of the field.
  • Dribble back and forth (jump stop, pivot across, or keep dribbling)

All players a ball in a circle around the coach

• Successively:
  • Right: normal dribble, through the knees, defend the ball
  • Right: normal dribble, look at the trainer, not at the ball
  • Left: normal dribble, through the knees, defend the ball
  • Left: normal dribble, look at the trainer, not at the ball
• Right/left alternate:
  • High hard dribble
  • Very low dribble
  • Sit on the buttocks low dribble
  • Lying down low dribble
  • Left/Right dribble with 1 hand
  • Dribble Front/Back 1 hand
  • Dribble through the legs
  • Machine gun
• 2 rows on the baseline, relay:
  • Quickly dribble with the right and back
  • Dribble with the left and back again
  • Backward dribble with right
  • Backward dribble with the left

• 10 minutes:
  • 5'right
  • 5'left
• 2 lines
  • right side 2 balls
  • Half of players right side
  • half of players left side to rebound

• Player a does V-cut and gets ball from player b and stops in jump-stop.
• He pivots (front left) with his left leg to the basket and gets into triple treath position.
• After a fake shot, he leaves right-handed dribble, left leg big step past the cone to the basket for a lay-up.
• Player c takes the rebound and goes to the other side for a shot at 45 degrees, after which he connects with the passers.

• For fitness this is a good exercise:
• The group has to line up and you let them start dribbling slowly.
• As soon as the trainer blows the whistle, the last one in line should run forward.
• Do this until everyone has run and then let them finish the circle.

• One row on the baseline/corner and one row in the center circle with ball.
• Pass to the corner and then run to the same corner and get the ball back at the post.
• Then there are a number of possibilities such as open-step or crossover and 1 vs 0 to the basket.
• Adjuster takes care of the rebound.

• Back various assignments (Crabwalk, backwards dribble, between the legs) and also finish with lay-up
• start quietly as a warming-up, then faster and faster
